<h1>Save a scenario</h1>
<p>
Once you are happy with the scenario you have created, you can save it to a <i>scenario file</i> which you can run at a later time or share with other orbiter users.
<p>
To save the current simulation state from within the scenario editor, click the <i>Save</i> button on the main editor page. This will open the <i>Save scenario</i> page.
<p>
Enter a file name and a short scenario description. Optionally, the file name can include a directory path. All paths are relative to Orbiter's root scenario folder (<i>Orbiter\Scenarios</i>). You can enter a sub-folder in the file name box (e.g. <i>MyScenarios\Interplanetary\MarsTransfer</i>) but the sub-folder must already exist.
<p>
The text you enter in the description box will be displayed in Orbiter's Launchpad dialog when a user selects the scenario from the list. It should briefly explain what the scenario is about.
<p>
Finally, click <i>Save</i> to save the scenario to file, or <i>Cancel</i> to return without saving.
